* Golden Delicious Computers released [[Openmoko_Beagle_Hybrid | Openmoko Beagle Hybrid Boards]] including GPS and a gyroscope. At the same time, they [http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2010-July/062609.html announced] plans to develop the next open hardware phone. Based on a OMAP3530 SoC this device will bring a lot of computing power to your pocket.

Debian is a universal operating system used on many other embedded devices, and also on home computers. Using Debian on the FreeRunner gives access to the huge army of software packaged in the Debian repositories, already compiled for the Neo's arm(v4) processor. Moreover, one can build one's own source files for programs without having to learn the OpenEmbedded way. For an existing Debian/Ubuntu user, choosing Debian for Neo FreeRunner makes phone a very familiar, trustworthy and flexible place to hack in.
